US EditionChina's Military Integrates DeepSeek AI into Drones and Combat Vehicles
DeepSeek AI enables the PLA to generate 10,000 military scenarios in 48 seconds, enhancing battlefield decision-making and supporting China's push for AI-driven military and public security modernization.
- People's Liberation Army procurement records show dozens of documents requested DeepSeek-based tools over six months, and on October 21 DeepSeek announced DeepSeek-OCR, signaling ongoing innovation.
- The PRC frames DeepSeek's use as advancing 'algorithmic sovereignty', with military-civil fusion and state alignment making PLA deployment likely in 2025 to reduce Western supply reliance.
- DeepSeek's architecture uses a modular reasoning core with attention-pruning and a smaller design that runs on Ascend, Kirin processors, and UAV edge platforms, cutting training energy by roughly 40 percent, NUDT reports.
- Private firms have been awarded most PLA contracts for DeepSeek tools, with Shanxi 100 Trust securing a major contract using Huawei Kunpeng and Ascend processors for defense projects worth tens of millions.
- Debate persists over DeepSeek's utility as PLA experts warn of latency, limited reproducibility, and small-sample testing, analysts flag code exposure and oversight risks, while proponents recommend a three-layer security regime despite compute and training chip constraints in the PRC.
